The stock market and economy have whipped up a lot more questions than answers these days.

 

  • Is the market rally sustainable or is this a classic bear market trap?

 

  • Will so-called animal sprits continue or do we need to see a couple of ugly capitulation days?

 

  • The economy and corporate profits are slowing but by how much?

 

  • How much will inflation curtail economic growth?

 

  • What does all this talk about an inverted yield curve really mean?

 

  • Can the U.S. Federal Reserve fulfill market expectations and raise interest rates eight times this year or will the stock market revolt?

 

Those are a few of the questions we posed to John O’Connell in the latest of our on-going series of conversations.
